damn that is good news. i want to flash this but not sure of the process for doing this, as i am rooted on the stock rom, but i've removed a lot of the LG and VZW bloatware. not sure if that will cause any problems if i take the update over all the changes i've made.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rodeojones:
I wanted to take a moment to chime in here. When I first stumbled upon this thread I remember thinking, "what touchscreen issues?" Then I started seeing them. They were random, and sometimes wouldn't happen for a day or two, but when they did it was annoying. Trying to scroll in Chrome but instead it zooms in and out. Type a word while texting and the final letter appears 8 times.

I finally got around to upgrading to the 12B ROM for VS980 and I've yet to see one issue reappear. While it's only been two days on this new build, I'm confident it's been fixed.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StarMenace:
Now if they could only get the non-VZW ones fixed... It's a good sign though. I'm hopeful that they resolve this for the D801 soon.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BrandonShea:
My D803 still doing it. :(
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vahdyx:
It appears it's not resolved for most just the Verizon version correct?

I would love to grab a D801 again from T-Mobile.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotwillk:
as far as i know, only the verizon version is fixed. the 12B patch is just for verizon versions so until this patch is released for the other carriers, looks like the problem will still persist for non-verizon customers.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fox_Soul:
Someone know if Internation LgD802 have the issue? Also, if all models have the issue, do yo know when LG will fix the problem for all models? I will buy this phone in a few days.

Also, how can i reproduce this issue at store?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sickorwuut:
Very hard to reproduce. You'll notice it when scrolling on a browser, that's when I notice it most. But it occurs randomly so you'd just have to be lucky to reproduce it.

U.u I came from a Xperia Z1 for the same issue. The TouchScreen of the Z1 is totally a joke... I hope the Lg G2 will be better and my provider ( Orange Spain) fix this issue soon.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sickorwuut:
Yeah that's what I'm waiting for. Kit kat is supposed to be coming within 3 months of the phone still has issues after that update I will have to let the phone go. It's a good phone and the touchscreen issues leave after turning off the screen and turning it on. I kind of got used to the whole thing it's just a minor annoyance
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sickorwuut:
For those with the tmobile lg g2. I just received an update for it on my phone. Wondering if this will fix the touchscreen issues. It is 146.9 MB total. Will report back with results
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fox_Soul:
any reports?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sickorwuut:
So far so good. Will use the phone tonight for an extended period of time, browsing the web trying to replicate the issue. I did notice that the update changed the brightness controls on the device. I can no longer use the slider bar when the auto brightness box is ticked.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fox_Soul:
OMG that sound very very VERY good! Now im impatient! I want my LG now hahaha

Thanks for caring... I hope my carrier ( Orange spain) will update it soon... If not, i will flash an stock version and will wait ^^

I have the Verizon version and the 12B update and I can say it is much better, but not fixed. Even now as I scroll through tapatalk and chrome it jumps all over the place and clicks on everything. As I'm typing this I clicked on an R on the keypad and it inserted like 10 of them. It doesn't happen as often but it's still there

Yeah well its been a few weeks since the update and this is the first I've seen it this bad again. So I dunno maybe it will start popping up again for others.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkatt:
My two cents... No issues since update
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fox_Soul:
my old phone had a issue with the screen too... It happened 1 time a week or so. Its simply that the touchscreen sucks and i dropped the phone some times ^^

If only 1 report, maybe you have something more than the rest.

I've got a recently updated VZW G2 and still suffer from the screen issues...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sickorwuut:
After testing the T-Mobile update for a few days I have some news. The update seems to have fixed the radical behavior. BUT now I seem to have random double presses. When scrolling for example I will randomly get a zoom in while Web browsing or on Instagram I'll accidentally hit the favorite button. When I try to use the quick memo to get a visual of what's going on, I can't seem to replicate it or get it to appear when drawing vertical lines. Less minor issue than it was before.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Floodland:
While I did not experience this issue, it sounds pretty much like a touchscreen calibration issue. I saw that kind of behavior with my good old Galaxy S2, and was resolved by modifying custom kernel touchscreen parameters (using Dorimanx kernel).

For S2 there were "touch filter" "move filter" and "touch threshold" and they had (completely) different values while on battery or charging. I know G2 has a different hardware, but maybe there are equivalent values to modify. Would you confirm if all of the affected users are currently using provided (stock) kernel? If you are on stock kernel, did you try different kernels? Custom kernels would provide different calibrations...

For what I read, seems there is a touchscreen auto-calibration during G2 "screen on" event, so partially resolving related issues.

The good part is that Dorimanx just changed his phone and he got a G2, maybe he could take a look at the touchscreen code in G2 kernel, to see if touch screen is tunable and if LG uses different hardware for the same phone model (as Samsung), thus requiring different tuning (probably overlooked by vendors)... About to write to him...

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowpro3210:
WOW; I thought it was ONLY my phone having these issues; comments I posted on another thread (team d3rp ROM for LG G2 Sprint version) and it's not an ISOLATED issue like the user on the youtube video mentioned that LG told him; he's had 4 replacements and same issues-verizon users, t-mobile, and sprint are ALL experiencing this same problem. C'mon LG, get your sh!t together, I LOOOOVE this phone, but renders it USELESS when this occurs, it just happens at random times too, I cant make it happen, it just does on its own-it's SUPER frustrating and would hate to exchange for a different phone. Comments I posted in other thread....

On a site note, does anyone have issues with there screen; I go to press a button in the middle, or anywhere on the screen for that matter, it seems like the phone is having tremors, OR when I am texting, I go to press the G button or anyone button, and it'll add 2 sometimes 3 of the same letter....it's odd. <~~ ME

from user youdug

its been happening to me since i got this phone.

scrolling, typing, etc... is all jittery and jagged. not smooth at all.

thats why i started messing with the governor and cpu/gpu settings.

even maxing everything out doesnt help

from user Koopa777

I've had it since release too, yes. The "fix" is to sleep and wake the device(double press power button). Last time I checked I heard rumblings of touch driver issues(seems logical, as refreshing the screen fixes it). Happens occasionally but apparently the VS980 had a patch that supposedly fixed it.

If ANYONE needs something from the sprint version of the phone, I will try and pull and possibly ANYONE here please try and come up with a patch for us sprint users, its not just verizon or t-mobile, its ALL around for LG G2 users, and for those who dont have any issues, consider yourselves lucky, OR for the people who do, I guess consider us unlucky? (glass is half full, or half empty) However you want to look at it...please help in getting a sprint patch.

Thank you so much
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brava27:
Maaaaan, this only once happens when there is food or something gooey on the screen, even water drop or sweat. Just wipe the screen off and it works fine.

negative-happened when I 1st got the phone fresh from the store-I have screen protector, but I make sure its clean and smooth-other sprint users are having the exact same issue. It's a well known problem-some have it, others don't. My screen (and phone for that matter) are in immaculate condition-I baby this phone more than my own baby (if I had a baby that is)...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sickorwuut:
If you actually read the thread and the first post you can see this has been proven false. I thought this too. The only way to really fix the issue is to turn the screen off and back on

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babaum:
I received my G2 about three weeks ago and am experiencing similar problems with my touchscreen. When I active the function "show touches" in the developer options I can easily see where the problem is: From time to time it just randomly starts to recognize a permanent touch in the upper middle of the screen. As an effect, every touch I make is seen as a multi-touch and working with the phone is impossible. This bug disappears after turning the screen off and on again.

Now I read that the verizon-customers got an update with wich the problem seems to be fixed (good to hear that it is a software-problem...)

Is there a way to get this update if I live in Switzerland and therefore don't use verizon?

Same problem in international G2

I am experiencing the same problem in my international G2 from today. When checked using quick memo, there are some ghost hands working on. Since last November I haven't received any updates at all. So is it gonna fix or do I need to go to the customer center? I really hate that because here in Singapore LG has only one center, and the service there sucks.

D803 LG G2 Bell

This issue is driving me crazy.... I sold my nexus 5 for this phone and now I am stuck with it. What a mistake! I read a couple posts saying that users experienced the issue even after the verizon "fix". I am really hoping that's not true and that LG has included the fix in it's kitkat ROM. Anyone play clash of clans on this phone? I'm constantly losing battles because of it! lol

Each time I call LG and Bell, they tell me that they have never heard of this issue before and to send the phone in. Unfortunately I can't because I bought this phone off kijiji but the fact that they tell me to do so, makes it sound like a defective device. I know there's a lot of posts on this thread from other users who are experiencing this problem, but I'm thinking it's possible that we're just a tiny subset of all owners and that most owners have working phones.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richajf:
I got my G2 yesterday and this issue was immediately apparent. I didn't think anything of it and went ahead and installed TWRP and AOSB but am still occasionally experiencing erratic touchscreen behavior. Is the Verizon "fix" on the firmware level, meaning I should go back to stock, update, then put a custom ROM back on, or is this fix being integrated into custom ROMs?

Other than this one issue, this phone is amazing.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] workinhard:
Won't the custom rom overwrite whatever was updated in the stock update?

Unless you keep the kernel which I"m not sure you can do

What a big flaw by LG! !

I also have this issue on my international LG G2, and it is frustrating!

I did an hard reset - factory restore on the settings menu followed by an hard reset on the recovery menu - and still have the flickering issue.

Why is this thread marked as resolved? ? We cannot fix this problem please change it!

By the way... I also have the brilliant tablet LG tab 8.3 (v500) and I got an OTA update, not KitKat yet.

I will probably send my LG back for warranty...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferralis:
Just an update, I realize this thread is old.

I just recieved the kitkat update, and I was having the problems outlined by this thread ever since I bought the phone. 20 minutes in, and I have not had any problems with my phone's touchscreen.

d800. ATT.

if i don't update in a few days, it's because I haven't experienced any problems and the update fixed the touchscreen issues. otherwise i will update with findings.

Sent Back

Just discovered this thread. My D801 exhibited this problem (phantom inputs and scrolls and a dead spot in portrait mode at top right) one time about two months after I bought the phone last September. Rebooted and the problem went away. Then it came back with a vengeance last week. I did a full wipe with TWRP, no fix. Then I did a kdz restore (110g) using LG Flash Tool. Still acting up. Problem is so bad it makes device un-useable. I was even getting phantom inputs in recovery! (boxes checked and unchecked). Finally got so disgusted I sent it to LG repair at my expense.

I am convinced THIS IS NOT A SOFTWARE OR DRIVER ISSUE. It is a hardware malfunction. Turning my screen on and off did not help. Full restore and wipe did not help. What part is the culprit is pure speculation unless LG tech admits the problem exists and fixes it. I have a sinking feeling they will do nothing to my phone, pack it up and send it back to me. Hope I'm wrong and LG can actually address the problem.

I paid full retail for this phone. If LG does not stand by their product, they will buy more negative advertising from me than they bargained for.

Thanks for the LG Owners Google+ links. I'll try that forum next.

I've used several brands of Android phones and tablets, usually flagship devices, and NOT ONE has ever exhibited this kind of instability problem.

So now my G2 is somewhere outside Forth Worth Texas. Guess I never should have moved off my Galaxy S2 :rolleyes:

Thanks for all your replies. I hope everyone plagued with this issue finds a solution.

So.. I removed my back cover and cleaned up whatever dust I could with a can of air. With the cover of it and to work fine. Put the cover back on and ask seems OK.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] missiveusa:
Dust?

Glad that worked for you. Unfortunately, taking the back cover off a D801 is not a simple procedure. I'd rather let LG do it, especially if it doesn't fix the problem. I've used Samsung phones that saw enough dust to choke a rhino, they never "spazzed out" like my G2 did. I used a Poetic case on my G2, which covers seams, kept it pretty clean.

UPDATE:

Received unit back from LG today. According to the paperwork, they replaced the touchscreen glass (it is new), did nothing else. Unit is very responsive, so far no dead spots or phantom inputs.

LG was very efficient throughout this whole process. I had my phone back in good time. I just hope it keeps working as it should.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferralis:
replying to myself.

It seems that the update fixed some touchscreen issues (like when swyping and all of a sudden swype would register your finger flying all the way to the other side of the screen) however it is still much too sensitive and I still get phantom touches, and unintentional double touches. I notice this most when hitting back and home, but i bet you would notice it more if you played a game like flappy bird. extremely annoying, I'm gonna start emailing lg about it every day.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gotwillk:
yea im surprised no one else has noticed any issues after the update. i still get the phantom touches once in a rare while and the jittery screens when swiping from screen to screen. and it still happens mostly after using the browser. sometimes if i swipe A LOT in swype, like typing long messages, it will also happen.

so basically, it still happens and the same stuff from before are still causing it, but it happens a lot less. it doesn't even bother me much anymore so its ok i guess.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] winwin81:
Hey Ferralis and folks,

Any updates on your situation? Has anyone else updated to 4.4.2 (standard LG OTA/Support utility style) and seen a difference in how this issue behaves on their G2 (e.g. frequency/severity)?

I have this annoying issue on my D803 (Canada) version. While i wouldn't call it spastic, it can result in zooming in/out on webpages and that jittering everyone is talking about when my finger is stationary while touching the screen.

The workaround of on/off screen seems to work in my case as well.

As soon as the Canada KitKat update on Rogers comes out, I'll let you all know whether I still see the issue (frequency).

Cheers.

I've replaced the phone 4 or 5 times now, so IDK really...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mr_pio:
Hey guys, I think I got it. It seems to me that it is the knock-on technology that is the culprit here!

After 3 weeks of using the device happily, the screen went bonkers, was acting up at least 50% of the time. Resetting etc. didn't help at all, so the next day I managed to turn knock-on off, at least to keep the phone from turning itself on by, well, touching itself :D (General settings/Gestures)

All wonkiness ceased immediately. The best part is that after a few hours I tried turning the double tap thingy back on, and the screen has been working perfectly the whole day after that, with knock-on active!

Try it, I'm curious how it works with yours. The knock-on solution is rather finicky, e.g. it prevented me from using the phone in an armband case with a plastic window.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SamStone:
My G2 started having these freezing and touchscreen issues about one month ago. I was waiting for the KitKat update hoping that would fix it but no such luck, after the update I still had the same issues. I tried all of the standard fixes suggested such as factory reset and sometimes it seemed that they helped but the problem always came back. Funny thing, I could always turn off the screen and turn it back on and it worked OK. Yesterday I took it to the LG service center here and left it, I'll let you guys know how I come out.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lokster:
I am hesitating between buying Nexus 5 and G2. I was almost convinced to go with the G2 because of the bigger screen (although the phone feels cheaper in my hands compared to my Nexus 4 and the N5), but now I've found this thread...

I did not understand if this touchscreen issue is fixed already. The thread says "RESOLVED", but I didn't find a solution.

Does it happen with CyanogenMod (rooting & wiping the stock bloat is the first thing I'll do)?

Maybe I should just chose the Nexus 5...
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgmgb:
I started experiencing something similar to this about a week after the kk update, screen would jump around pages, 'install' button within the play store wouldn't work while in portrait orientation but did in landscape, knock on feature didn't work but knock off did.

Factory resets and restores didn't resolve. It was sent back to LG and it looks like they received it today.

To the people who have sent back their phones to LG for repair, how long did the repair take? Two weeks? More?
